Moe's Southwest Grill: Afternoon Snack, Cary

 gordonilla Says:  This was an afternoon snack stop - I had a very enjoyable fajitas and water. The portions were large and very enjoyable. The one negative point, may be that you only receive three wraps with the portion - 4 would be better!The store was clean and tidy, staff were freindly...

Neo China: Chinese Dim Sum - Cantonese Style

Neo China: Chinese Dim Sum - Cantonese Style, Cary

 FreeCloud Says:  On a weekend lunch time, if one lives in Cary, and does not want to drive as far as to Durham, this is the best place to have Chinese/Cantonese style Dim Sum.The deco is modern. Waiting staff push carts with a wide variety of small dishes around. Ask them if you are not...

Ruth's Chris Steak House: Serious Steaks!

Ruth's Chris Steak House: Serious Steaks!, Cary

 gordonilla Says:  This was once again suggested by the excellent concierge service of The Umstead hotel - as it was near by, I used the free shuttle service. I was unsure what to expect, and in fact was blown away by the srevice and the food. It does seem as if the Cary area has some... 

ãn: New World Cuisine

Ma Ma Wok: Chinese Dim Sum

Ma Ma Wok: Chinese Dim Sum, Cary
